ABOUT ME

Cheerful and optimistic--I love sunshine! I sing in the shower and booty shake on the dance floor.

PHILOSOPHY

Listening, and breakfast, are essential!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just begun to travel again for the first time in a long while! I am excited to start exploring and meeting new peeps! I have hosted couch surfers in Providence with my former room mate and host numbers of non-couch surfer friends. This will be the first time I directly utilize Couch Surfing though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfed with my band Celadour two summers back and now I can't think of a better way to travel. From San Diego to Virginia we surfed the entire lower half of the states; I was lucky enough to meet people I have since had the pleasure of hanging out with again this past summer! I hosted with my roomies a number of travelers in Providence and can't wait to continue when I settled down somewhere new.

Interests

Recent interests include wearing baking pies with no gluten, keeping an active sketchbook, learning guitar, brainstorming crazy conceptual installations, and collecting objects from the side of the road for future projects. Cooking and sharing food is one of the pillars of my existence. Playing, sharing, and making music is essential!--I play a mean fiddle. And I love to explore by bike.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skinny dipping at the Natural Bridge in Virgina. The park closed early that day because of some power outages. It was empty except for the fireflies, mosquitoes, and some refreshing cold water.
Racing fireworks down the street in Chattanooga. White wine! Blue berry pie! America!
